"In my role as Chief Operating Officer (COO) at the United Nations Association in Canada (UNA-Canada), I worked with Koyali Burman as an consultant to evaluate youth engagement projects focused on sustainable employment and digital literacy and equity.
Koyali developed a strong understanding of project goals and impacts, applied a rigorous, triangulated evaluation approach, and engaged meaningfully with diverse stakeholders, including youth participants. She delivered a clear, practical evaluation report with actionable recommendations, demonstrating professionalism, empathy, critical thinking, and respect for timelines and budget constraints.
